Yes, it can depend on MFD_SUPPORT or it can select both
MFD_SUPPORT and MFD_CORE or we could do what Jean Delvare
suggested last December and combine the MFD_SUPPORT and MFD_CORE
symbols, like I2c does.  I did a patch for that but never
posted it.  It's below, but probably needs a good bit of
updating since this patch was made in January.

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@...otime.net>

Combine MFD_SUPPORT (which only enabled the remainder of the MFD
menu) and MFD_CORE.  This allows other drivers to select MFD_CORE
without needing to also select MFD_SUPPORT, which fixes some
kconfig unmet dependency warnings.  Modeled after I2C kconfig.
